Butaris Butterschmalz

Butaris is a household name in Germany, representing high-quality clarified butter (Butterschmalz). The brand's origin is rooted in the cooperative structure of the German dairy industry, specifically designed to offer a pure, lactose-free butterfat product suitable for high-heat cooking and baking.

Manufacturing of Butaris is concentrated in Germany, where fresh cow's milk butter is processed to remove water and milk protein, resulting in a stable, long-lasting cooking fat. The brand is managed by a joint venture of major German dairy cooperatives, ensuring that the supply chain remains closely tied to regional dairy farmers.

The brand is currently owned by Butaris Butterschmalz-Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH, which is a subsidiary of the DMK Group (Deutsches Milchkontor) and other partner cooperatives. This structure ensures that the brand remains under the stewardship of a major European dairy powerhouse, maintaining consistent quality standards across the continent.
